+And (and that's an important bit to differentiate when entering a new
+market or pushing a new product revision): they almost never
+feature-match existing potentially competing products on the market.
+
+By doing so, they prevent customers to compare their products with the
+competition feature against feature. So comparison and choice happens
+on something else than the common feature set you would expect for a
+industry-standard product; it happens on something they are better at
+than the competition, be it a set of innovating/differentiating
+features or design.
